@mn5 I love how even your banter is stuck in the past...been a few years since Nepia gave a toss about the Canes...
Yeah, when they do their annual naming of this team it's always annoying to see the players they missed out on rather than the ones that actually played for the team.
Also, Norm Hewitt wasn't playing for the Magpies when in the Canes. Should have had Hika for his brief time, as they've included Buckman who the Canes deemed worthy 4 times only.
Anyway, I'm actually going to this match. First Canes match since the first year of the Hammettuer era I think.
Welcome back Neps! I've been keeping your seat on the bandwagon warm. I'm sure you'll find it a much smoother ride than the Chiefs wagon.

Hahaha, yeah I'm not back, the Canes sit down with the Blues and the Highlander as the other teams I'll always support against everyone else. A smooth ride with the Canes must be disconcerting to the OG Canes fans.
It was actually pure luck that I'm going to this game, I didn't know it was on when I planned my trip.

Watched Rebels game last night. Canes looked very sharp. Pack actually seemed to be better sans Ardie. Is good to have some genuine competition for that spot.
It's good that the coaches seem to be managing BB much better this year. Seems there is more confidence in West than there was in Boychild (Black).

Beauden Barrett has been pulled from the line-up and Ihaia West will start. JGB comes onto the bench.

Grrr I have him in my fantasy team and no trades left to swap him out. This is unacceptable.

I thought it would be a easy win for the Canes. now I'm not sure with the poor tackling West starting. And coaches who seem to have a blind spot with him

Just turned on. Hate it when that happens. Bugger.

May not need him!

The Hurricanes management making a pointed statement on where they rank Hawkes Bay in their estimation. Playing in their away jerseys says it all. Hang your heads in shame, stop your pretense about being representatives of a wide area once and for all. No longer do you deserve any support from the outlining areas of the supposed Hurricanes catchment area after tonight's embarrassing faux pax (or was it?) Play your supposed home games in your effing home jersey ffs.

Difference between SA and NZ. Sharks hold ball but simple trying to run over you while JTA side steps into space then West into space for offload and try.

Anyone worried Shields will play for England..?
